Tr'ochëk "In late spring and early summer, our people moved to traditional fishing sites and prepared for the annual migrations, or "runs," by setting up camp then building and repairing fishing equipment. Our ancestors devised many methods for catching fish. In the early days, they built fish traps across the mouth of the Klondike River using Tr'o, or "hammerstones," to pound stakes into the riverbed that were then interwoven with branches holding basket traps. After emptying the traps of their fish, we removed the traps for several hours or overnight, allowing most of the fish to reach their spawning grounds. Men in birchbark canoes paddled out to the swimming salmon then scooped them with hand nets made from woven caribou skin on a wooden frame." - Nomination File Tr'ochëk "This component part is located south of Dawson City, on the opposite side of the Klondike River, at its confluence with the Yukon.
